Children in Tanzania filmed in unusual state due to hunger

Videos allegedly filmed in Tanzania are causing widespread discussion on social media. They show preschool-aged children catching pigeons, plucking their feathers, and eating them raw.

These images were initially shared by Chinese TikTok users and later spread rapidly among Indian users. The video garnered millions of views in a short time, sparking various opinions and reactions.

The footage shows young Black children with curly hair catching pigeons and beginning to eat them from the head, neck, or wings. This situation has shocked many, bringing issues of humanitarianism, famine, and social inequality back to the forefront.

Some users are comparing this situation to difficult periods in history. For instance, they recall how people were forced to resort to any available food source to survive during the Siege of Leningrad or the Korean War.
